Description
Our double braid anchor line is made in the USA, with a stainless steel thimble spliced into one end, and it comes on a spool. It's a braided polyester cover over a braided nylon core: the nylon gives it strength and stretch, and the cover resists wear and sun. That stretch soaks up shock loads, which protects your boat and hardware from damage. Double braid is typically the strongest way to make a rope, it won't kink, and it meets or exceeds the Cordage Institute specifications for high-performance rope. It's the step up from our 3 strand anchor line, with a tougher cover and no kinking.
